You did good Mom! Your son obviously loves his beautiful quilt and pillowcase. I made a quilt for my son when he went off to college. That was in 1989. It is currently awaiting a much needed repair job, it's been used hard and put away wet. I decided it would be much simpler to make my son a new quilt, which I did for Christmas last year, and he loved it. However, he asked me if I could still repair his old quilt because " it's been a part of my life for so long, I really want to keep using it" Is that sweet or what? I hope your son uses and loves his quilt to pieces too.
